politics since day one A look at the correlation between ethnic background and voting patterns The anti-Netanyahu rally in Tel Aviv Saturday night was meant to be a high point of the campaign to oust Israel’s prime minister in next week’s general elections — a last hoorah before a triumphant storming of the polls The reason Israelis are still talking about the rally days later is not because of a passionate speech delivered by the former chief of Israel’s Mossad spy agency but rather because of a highly embarrassing – and potentially electorally damaging – speech by an artist and frequent Haaretz contributor Garboz opened the rally by describing how he viewed Israel with Netanyahu at the helm indulging in a popular habit of attributing the most extreme aberrations and abuses of powers to a tiny They told us that the man who killed the [former] prime minister [Rabin] was part of a delusional “They told us he was under the influence of rabbis detached from reality They said those of yellow shirts with black badges They told us the thieves and the bribe-takers are only a handful That the corrupt are no more than a handful… the idol-worshippers and those bowing and prostrating themselves on holy tombs  – only a handful… then how is that this handful rules over us How did this handful quietly become a majority Garboz insisted he wasn’t referring to anyone of any particular ethnic origin the phrase about “talisman-kissers” and “tomb worshippers” was as much a dogwhistle phrase as former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani’s remarks that Obama “wasn’t brought up the way [you and I were]” was to black Americans Some Ashkenazi Jews do all of the above too usually in connection to the tomb of the 19th century Rabbi Nachman of Breslaw in Uman But talismans and pilgrimages are a well-known staple in the lives of Jews from Middle Eastern and North African countries – also known as Mizrahim Although many Israelis — usually Ashkenazi European Jews descendants of the founding elites of the state — like to portray Israel as a “melting pot,” the story of Mizrahi Jews in Israel is one of fierce and relentless discrimination usually as refugees driven from Arab countries by the far ripples of the war of 1948 the Labor Zionist governments of the time ensured Mizrahim were housed in camps and far-flung frontier settlements denied jobs and robbed of their tremendous cultural heritage They were even violently shamed out of speaking their native Arabic The bubbling indignation and discontent at this treatment found its outlet over 20 years later when Mizrahi voters ousted a Labor government to replace it The Likud’s liberal-capitalist approach opened a path for many Mizrahim through the hitherto tightly controlled nepotist economy set up by the Labor Zionists The same Labor party today tends to frown on any mention of the Ashkenazi-Mizrahi divide insisting it is a thing of the past and that bringing it up today is divisive and inappropriate But the Likud emphasized individual opportunity rather than collective rights never bothered with affirmative action or far-reaching systemic reforms; it made it easier for ambitious individuals to overcome discrimination but did not do nearly enough to prevent the discrimination in the first place a Mizrahi child is much more likely than an Ashkenazi one to be sent to a “vocational” school which condemns him to a career of skilled menial labor Despite tremendous advances in recent years — no thanks to any left-wing party – Mizrahim are still badly under-represented in upper-middle class professions and in academia Garboz’s remarks were not merely patronizing and prejudiced cherished — experiences as pilgrimage into the same category as corruption They also highlighted a tremendously important and painful political divide that usually goes unseen by foreign observers: Israeli voters attribute considerable importance to the ethnic affiliation of a party This affiliation tends to be almost as decisive as a party’s political stance A week before the rally, this all too frequently ignored reality was confirmed by a rare survey broadcast by Channel 10 that asked for whom Ashkenazis and Mizrahis intended to vote The resulting division could not be clearer: 55 percent of the potential voters who support the Zionist Camp which is the current standard bearer of Labor Zionism Among the voters for the Zionist Camp’s more liberal cousin whose stronghold is among Tel Aviv academics 69 percent are Ashkenazi and 12 percent are Mizrahi a product of the historic Ashkenazi Religious Zionist movement has 46 percent Ashkenazi voters and 31 percent Mizrahim; its reputation among Mizrahim was damaged further when chairman Naftali Bennett recruited and then dumped former soccer star Eli Ohana in a move that was widely perceived as blatant tokenism an “apolitical” centrist capitalist party appealing to Israel’s urban young professionals has 51 percent Ashkenazi voters and 29 percent Mizarhi the original vehicle of Mizrahi electoral awakening boasts the most equal division between the two communities with 41 percent Ashkenazi voters and 39 percent Mizrahi a centrist party led by a prominent Mizrahi comes close to the Likud balance with 36 percent Ashkenazi voters and 42 percent Mizrahi the only party so far to bill itself as a party by Mizrahim for Mizrahim boasts 75 percent Mizrahim among its voters and only 5 percent Ashkenazis These results are further borne out by the voting data from the 2013 elections, processed into map form by the Madlan real estate portal its northern suburbs or any of the kibbutzim that dot the map and you will see overwhelming votes for Labor Look over Tel Aviv’s poorer southern suburbs or over the far-flung “development towns” where the original Mizrahi immigrants were shunted with overwhelming votes for right-wing parties or Shas Israeli left-wingers who like to claim that intra-Jewish discrimination is a thing of the past also like to wonder loudly — and often sneeringly — why the poorest Israelis continue to vote for Netanyahu even though his ultra-capitalist economic policies hurt them first The question should rather be who and what they are voting against and how the left-wing parties can begin to recognize and address these grievances An earlier version of this post appeared on The Middle East Eye He's a co-founder

archaeologist Dr “The building is 2,700 years old and included 24 rooms constructed around a central courtyard.” “A large storage compartment meant to protect the grain was exposed in the courtyard It seems that carbohydrates were as popular then as now and the growing and processing of grain were fairly widespread in the rural-agricultural region This was corroborated by other discoveries in the field that included numerous millstones which were used to grind the grain into flour.” we found simple rock-hewn oil presses used in the production of olive oil” “This farmstead and other similar ones operated for centuries until the region was abandoned in Hellenistic period.” Dr. Shadman and his colleagues also found two silver coins from the 4 century BC that “bear the likenesses of the goddess Athena and the Athenian owl.” Part of the excavated mosaic floor of the Byzantine period church Image credit: Assaf Peretz / Israel Antiquities Authority A monastery dating to the early

without having to worry about those pesky produced by “Be’emuna,” a real estate company that specializes in building “quality housing for the religious public,” was widely panned in the media and was taken down almost as quickly as it went up But the bitter taste couldn’t be wiped out especially since the video was released on the very same day that official Israel commemorates the expulsion of Jews from Arab and Muslim lands “If the story of these communities had been told from the founding of the state Critics of the memorial day argue that it is part of a cynical attempt by the government to use Mizrahi claims to their properties in countries such as Iraq and Morocco as a means to offset those of Palestinian refugees to the lands from which they were expelled in 1948 — what Professor Yehouda Shenhav refers to as “spineless bookkeeping.” Famed Israeli Foreign Minister Abba Eban described in 1957 how Mizrahi Jews were a direct threat to the nascent State of Israel: “The goal must be to instill in them a Western spirit and not let them drag us into an unnatural Orient One of the biggest fears… is the danger that the large amount of immigrants of Mizrahi origin will force Israel to compare how cultured we are to our neighbors.” Although Yemenite Jews were viewed by the Zionist establishment as being the most “authentic” Jews they were still seen through the prism of the East infected with a disease that could only be cured through a dosage of Western acculturation “Why destroy the diaspora in Yemen and bring these people who will harm us more than help?” asked Yitzhak Grinboim “By bringing 70 percent of ill Yemenite Jews we will harm both us and them.” and at times detestation of Jews from Arab countries in Israel I have picked out a number of remarks made by Israeli leaders during the founding years of the state (all of which can be found in Tom Segev’s remarkable book “1949: The First Israelis”) to demonstrate how deeply-rooted these attitudes really were: “Even the immigrant from North Africa and doesn’t even know how to say his prayers either wittingly or unwittingly has behind him a spiritual heritage of thousands of years…” – David Ben-Gurion “The ancient spirit left the Jews of the East and their role in the Jewish nation receded or disappeared entirely In the past few hundred of years the Jews of Europe have led the nation in both quantity and quality.” – David Ben-Gurion “This tribe is in some ways more easily absorbed the male part has — a good grounding in Hebrew and the Jewish heritage Yet in other ways it may be the most problematic of all It lacks the most basic and primary concepts of civilization (as distinct from culture) Its attitude toward women and children is primate For thousands of years it lived in one of the most benighted and impoverished lands under a rule even more backward than an ordinary feudal and theocratic regime The passage from there to Israel has been a profound human revolution All its human values need to be changed from the ground up.” David Ben-Gurion “This is a race unlike any we have seen before They say there are differences between people from Tripolitania but I can’t say I have learned what those inferences are that the Tripolitanians and Tunisians are “better” than the Moroccans and Algerians but it’s the same problem with them all… The primitiveness of these people is unsurpassable they are only slightly more advanced than the Arabs Negroes and Berbers in their countries… The [North] Africans bring their ways with them wherever they settle It is not surprising that the crime rate in the country is rising… above all there is one equally grave fact and that is their total inability to adjust to the life in this country and primarily their chronic laziness and hatred for any kind of work.” Arye Gelblum “They are handsome as far as their physique and outward appearance are concerned but I found it very difficult to tell them apart from the good quality Arab type.” H the Sephardi and Yemenite Jews will play a considerable part in building our country We have to bring them over in order to save them but also to obtain the human material needed for building the country.” – Berl Locker speaking to the Jewish American politician Henry Morgenthau “I must say that the human material in Germany is better than I had thought especially after having visited the North Africans in Marseilles” – Itzhak Refael following a visit to a camp for immigrants preparing to move to Israel “You are familiar with the immigrants from those places… you know that we do not have a common language with them Their way of life is medieval.” – Shoshana Parsits posing the first real threat to the Ashekanzi establishment by its Mizrahi subjects Today there is a flourishing of Mizrahi cultural and political activism which seeks not only to expose the crimes of the Ashkenazi founders but to draw a direct line from the abuses of the 1950s to the racism we see in Israeli society today But the mere fact that there are people who seemingly have no problem with actively promoting an apartheid vision by which Mizrahim are actively kept out of particular neighborhoods
